What's a great way to lead your family?

Start with a verse.


Many families enjoy choosing a "Family Bible Verse" that defines everything they value most. Never had a family verse before? A theme verse is like an anchor for your family: you can choose it together, memorize it together, lean on it together, and rally together around it.

Share your family verse with us, and your family could win a prize pack picnic basket. Just use the Bible App to make a Verse Image for your family verse (here's how), then share it on Twitter, Instagram, or at Facebook.com/YouVersion, using #OurFamilyVerse.

Winners will be treated to everything you need for a family picnic: a custom YouVersion picnic blanket, tumblers, treats, and other snacking essentials!*

Here are just a few of our favorite verses to help you get started:


…choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve… as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15, NKJV

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a
light for my path.
Psalm 119:105, NLT

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:11–13, NIV





*Prize packs will be selected at random from eligible entries.

Gather Your Family Around God's Word

...commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine...
Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at
home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed
and when you are getting up.
Deuteronomy 11:18–19, NLT
